South Berwick combines a small-town center with a border-river setting in a way that reflects its position on the Salmon Falls River between Maine and New Hampshire. The river forms the town’s western edge and has long linked this community with settlements across the state line. South Berwick is closely associated with writer Sarah Orne Jewett, who was born here; the Sarah Orne Jewett House preserves the setting connected with her New England fiction. The town lies in southern Maine’s coastal hinterland, in the wider Piscataqua region rather than directly on the Atlantic shore.
